On a recent layover in Detroit, I was filming roaming squads of TSA agents searching passengers at the gates. I didn’t feel like answering their questions, and their response was, well, see for youself . . .
In part 1 I interact with Janetta a TSA “Behavior Detection Officer”
The airport police show up to continue the harassment in part 2: (Read on …)
The Homeless – They’re easy to marginalize and blame for their situation. With the economy in a tailspin, the dollar facing hyperinflation, the FDIC billions in the hole, a commercial real estate bubble ready to pop, lending restrictions tightening, Obama spending money like the Weimar Republic, and over 2,000 banks expected to fail next year, unfortunately many more may end up joining them.
It is said the compassion of a society can be measured in the way the poorest and most misfortunate are treated. So after regulating, licensing, and taxing this community out of prosperity, now this unfortunate element of society; this unintended consequence; stands as a black mark the city’s bureaucrats are working to erase. Take an honest look at how government helps the poor who don’t go along with the welfare program:

While in the Cheshire County Jail, I requested to use the law library on a few occasions to defend myself. The requests were generally approved after anywhere from 3-8 days later after several follow-up requests, and in one case, a petition signed by 20 other prisoners.
Unfortunately the law library at the jail is severely deficient. The New Hampshire RSA set, updated last in ‘94, has volumes missing. They have the RSA’s on one computer, which was down for weeks, but that doesn’t include much useful case law.
The Federal code volumes are from the 50’s and have more volumes missing than on the shelves. The NH court rules haven’t been updated since 1979, and that’s important because they have added hoops to jump through to call witnesses in your own defense, which are not even in the 1979 rules. The Keene city ordinances are nowhere in sight, and several activists continue to be charged with them.
While in the Jail Richard Van Wickler said it’s not his responsibility, and that I should call the Public Defenders office because they maintain the law library, and they have assured him that it’s up to date.
Today I called and spoke with Jan who has managed the Public Defenders office for over 20 years.
Guess what, they have never been responsible for the law library at the jail. (Read on …)
After Keene, NH activist Kurt Hoffman was arrested, handcuffed, and taken into a back room, he was seriously hurt, and carried out on a stretcher.
Police say Hoffman, after being handcuffed and laying on the ground completely passive before being taken into a back room, suddenly decided to jump up, run for the door where he fell, on his head. His wife says Rivera tackled him and caused him to land on his head.
Two weeks later, Hoffman is still in a wheelchair with a disfigured face from apparent neurological damage. To protect and serve. . .

Ever wonder what happens when a guy in a green suit goes running down main street high fiving everyone in sight? Here’s your chance to find out:

I sent the following letter to CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) which recently had an auditor out certifying KPD.
Hello CALEA Staff,
I’m writing to inform you of another incident with the Keene PD, which recently went though the certification process. I spoke with Barbara during the feedback session, but don’t have any further contact information, as your organization doesn’t seem interested in hearing from the public. (Read on …)
Thank you to everyone who came out last weekend, I had a great time! They are finishing up next weekend, and we could really use your help wrapping up. MoCo Arts is a non profit, community-based, family-centered organization sharing the gift of dance primarily with children in the community. 
Details on volunteering can be found here, and I’m inviting Free Keene readers out, Saturday October 3rd, from 12pm-4:20pm. This is a total volunteer effort, so wear your panting clothes and bring supplies if you have them. Hope to see you there!
